Clinical Effects of Acupuncture for Stroke Patients Recovery.

Stroke is assumed as one of the common cerebrovascular diseases that endangers human health and life. Its incidence and mortality rates are high, while survivors (50% to 70%) suffer from different degrees of disability. Hemiplegia is a common disability after stroke, mainly manifested as muscle weakness of the affected side, limb spasm, and limited activity, which severely impacts a patient's daily life.

Application of Data Mining in the Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the Rehabilitation of Cerebral Spasticity of Lower Extremity Exercise Energy.

In this article, we have examined the effect of acupoint injection of mecobalamin on the nerve function of the lower limbs of stroke patients by giving acupoint injection of mecobalamin for 2 weeks in patients with stroke, effectively fusing acupuncture, acupoints, and drugs in traditional Chinese medicine to rehabilitate the effect of motor function and activities of daily living. For this purpose, a total of 60 study cases will be screened in the study. They are randomly divided into experimental group and control group: the control group will be treated with conventional stroke treatment and nursing, and the experimental group will be treated with bilateral acupoint injection of mecobalamin; once a day, after 14 days of continuous injection, we observed and intervened the lower limb nerve function, motor function, and activities of daily living of the two groups before and after the treatment and statistically analyzed the data so as to obtain the clinical effect of the treatment on the lower limb rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Predictive value of LncRNA on coronary restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with coronary heart disease: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Evidence shows that long-stranded non-coding RNA (LncRNA) can predict coronary artery restenosis in patients suffering from coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention, suggesting that LncRNA may become a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of coronary artery restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, its accuracy has not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, it is necessary to perform meta-analysis to certify the diagnostic value of LncRNA on coronary artery restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention.

LINC00467 enhances head and neck squamous cell carcinoma progression and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process via miR-299-5p/ubiquitin specific protease-48 axis.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has attracted the attention of researchers as a result of its high incidence around the world. This malignancy occurs in the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx in most cases. A number of lncRNAs have been revealed to regulate the malignant neoplasia of several cancers.

Vascular endothelial growth factor-modified macrophages accelerate reendothelialization and attenuate neointima formation after arterial injury in atherosclerosis-prone mice.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a promising molecule for cardiovascular diseases therapy. But lack of a targeted delivery system limits its translation into clinical application. This study aimed to develop stably overexpressing VEGF macrophages for targeted VEGF delivery to injured arteries and determine their potential for repairing of the damaged endothelium.

Association between α-adducin rs4961 polymorphism and hypertension: A meta-analysis based on 40 432 subjects.

Background: Recently, the role of α-adducin rs4961 polymorphism in hypertension (HTN) was intensively analyzed, but the results of these studies were inconsistent. Therefore, we performed this study to better assess the relationship between α-adducin rs4961 polymorphism and the likelihood of HTN.

Methods: Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science.
